Hi all, A number of people on this list showed an interest, both throught the list and via private e-mail, in the rear number plate surround I was having manufactured in aluminium. Well the 1st prototype has been cast and I have uploaded some pickies to the photos section under 'Alu licence plate holder' see what you think. I am really pleased with the results and at a recent car show had a great deal of interest, the finished castings are bead blasted and, when painted, the texture of the finish is very similar to that of the original. A mirror like finish can also be achieved by polishing the casting, very cost effective. Any comments always welcome. Should be in stores by xmas :-) well on eBay at least!
